Hungary’s Orban concedes landmark defeat to center-right opposition​

Hungary’s veteran nationalist leader Viktor Orban conceded defeat on Sunday after a landslide election victory by the upstart opposition Tisza party, in a setback for his allies in Russia and U.S. President Donald Trump’s White House.

Results based on 46% of votes counted showed the center-right, pro-EU Tisza party of Peter Magyar winning 135 seats — or a crucial two-thirds majority — in the 199-member parliament, ahead of Orban’s Fidesz party.

“The election results are not final yet, but the situation is understandable and clear,” Orban said at the Fidesz campaign offices. “The election result is painful for us, but clear.”

Vonderlen & company put a stranglehold on Hungary's economy making it expensive enough that the people decided to change horses.

Now the EU has 'their boy' in the catbird seat. He'll 'approve' the $90B for Ukraine and on we go....

Hungary is about to be culturally enriched as well...

Some say Trump's support hurt and that he might just be OK with Orban going down. Europe is totally screwed now and this just might be the neocons plan all along in addition to getting London.

Maddow: Trump's fear is palpable as authoritarian peer Orbán is resoundingly rejected in Hungary​

Rachel Maddow highlights some striking parallels between Donald Trump and the authoritarian regime his administration is modeled on, Victor Orbán in Hungary. Maddow notes that the basis for an authoritarian's power is the sense that their continued rule is inevitable, so seeing Orbán tossed from power so handily by the voters of Hungary sends a clear and upsetting message to Trump, and an encouraging message to Trump's opponents.
